X3 Terran Conflict Intro Movie [ENGLISH HQ]

[Zorry99]

there is no 4:01

[AegisShroud]

This game, and the whole series, looks amazing. Where has this been all my life!? Time to get it.

[92Garrus]

@AegisShroud im downloading it through impulse now O.O

[draconis115]

@GameRock123 yes Can't wait for X Rebirth

[VicousMelodies]

This is Bret Sera's voice!

[feuermetalz]

amazing video and i want the game :)

[plasm2]

so is this like the 2nd part of x3 reunion?

[ExocetT615]

lol this to me is the best Game Intro there is ^^ hope this game goes to an MMO :P

[LambdaResistance]

Egosoft matched perfectly this voice to the intro.

[JonnyProductions]

please, anyone know the name of de song?

[PulseHaymaker]

@JonnyProductions

If you own the game, it's in the soundtrack folder under: 08402.mp3

Enjoy!

[Robbie1330]

you tube shouldnt have intellegent covorsations. This is a place for the weak, the stupid, and the absent minded. You should all go to a forum or fuck forums, go to the place where teletubbies grow and discuss this there. Than the teletubbies would eat the vacume, and rise up!

[GeneralAjaxus]

This was a great intro, but the story in the game sucked. Bad mission, no explanations, and it left open tons of questions. It just sent you from mission to mission without explaining what was even going on.

[lopatnik]

I really love this intro, it's to simple and yet makes you want to think about our future, and also shows that the terrans HAVE a reason for being so xenophobic,

[theshadowbehindme]

still a millenium thats freaking long. So they had time enough to develop anti xenon weapons

[lopatnik]

they have, not only are their weapons the most powerfull but also they are called electromagnetic which would mean that in some way it is anti-xenon

[Lordpianz]

I love this game....addicting!

[theshadowbehindme]

LOL this game takes hours, days, weeks, months, to play.

[winnryautomail]

this game looks awesome.

[DevilDog016]

What is really unnerving is that this WILL happen. As the saying is, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". ANd it will happen due to human error. One wrong code, even just one mistake in the programming, and this will happen. That's why operations on such a massive scale must run perfectly. But they won't, because if the creator isn't perfect then the creation isn't perfect either. Let's just hope we won't go through this...

[blacksheepwall79]

You severely over-estimate the abilities of computers. "Any" computer, ever.

[DevilDog016]

Ah, so you think we will stay in our place and try not to develop newer technologies? The army already has semi-autonomous unmannned vehicles. And once someone removes human interference - the only limit to these machines - and gives freedom of choice to the AI counterpart, then noone can know what will happen next.

[blacksheepwall79]

It's not about new technology, it's about the limitations of the medium. No machine. No computer, no matter how advanced, or how many Star Trek or Terminator movies you watch, will ever have the facility of human intelligence. The human mind does not function solely via algorythms. There is an X factor that cannot be codified. Trying to make a machine that's creative is like trying to make a dog that meows. Sure, you can make the bark 'sound' meow-like, but that's not a bark..

[DevilDog016]

I'm not talking strictly about intelligence. In the last Terminator, for example, the T's were not fully autonomous, they were given a certain range of functions - algorythmic "freedom", call it so - but their actions were controlled by a central computers who monitors and issues out orders to the T's, and builds more T's in the foundry. I'm talking about a computer that has the capacity to replicate itself and rush enemies with swarms of drones.

[DevilDog016]

It doesn't have to be too much, just one central, highly capable machine. If you give it the necessary subsystems it will eventually become self-sustained. The second most important thing is the database - blueprints, schematics, etc. - so it can create what it needs to complete its set of objectives. Skynet's objective was to remove humans, all it needed was an army of T's, and humans for further testing of T models.

[theshadowbehindme]

lol then build a Human Biocomputer

[repatomonor21]

Actually, the Xenon don't think in a whole either. Every pieces of the xenon fleet are controlled by the xenon cpu stations, and those are controlled by the 2 Xenon CPU ships (#EFAA and #DEFF). The one that the Terrans captured at the end of the terran plot in Aldrin was the third CPU ship called #DECA, howerer, it had no connections to the other 2 in the X universe.

[Lordpianz]

The army/navy UAV (unmanned areial vehicles have a HQ....that's being ran by people....UAV's don't think for themselve

[DevilDog016]

Yes, but those UAV's will soon become outdated. There are already advanced drones, programmed to have the capacity to engage into combat at anytime, anywhere, without the intervention of humans; but they can be disabled from a command centre. If they go rampant, they bust the CC and here goes the chance for a quick fix. And even if it doesn't happen tomorow or next week, once lasers and nuclear reactors become small enough to mount on UAV's, shit will hit the fan.

[wulli1988]

us and uk both have unmanted aircraft drones witch are programmed then loaded with ardenance and allowed to flight themselves with no human intervention to their target and bomb their target so we already have technology wwhich presents a threat

[MWNVproductions]

Eventually, yes. We will be able to break down the functions of a human brain into logical algorithms and create a program with it. However that technology, if it could ever exist, would not come about for a very very long time (im talking thousands of years). Our current programming language and computing power can't even give a computer the concept of the number "1" the same way we humans view it, much less replicate a full self aware machine. I'm afraid we'll kill ourself before machines can.

[CKtheFat]

@MWNVproductions Thousands of years? I'm thinking closer to hundreds, or possibly even dozens.

[booho1]

@CKtheFat Nah, looking at the rate of how tech's advancing, i have to say, per say, 500 years? lets just hope that MWNVproductions isn't right about us blowing ourself up. then again, 2012 IS around the corner...

[CKtheFat]

In one lifespan, mankind witnessed the first powered flight to the first landing on the moon. In much less time than that, computers became instruments that filled entire rooms to being able to fit in the hand (and think of how many calculations modern-day supercomputers can make per second.) Today's college sophomores toy with what was cutting-edge technology just 20 years ago. I think you might be seriously underestimating the rate of advancement.

@CKtheFat "The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do." – B.F. Skinner

[LJordanakos]

@MWNVproductions

i think you are going too far away in 50 years i believe it will come close to what you say . technology evolves really fast .

year year we advance even more compared to previous year

[reddog22000]

@DevilDog016 "One wrong code, even just one mistake in the programming, and this will happen."

Uh, no. Chances are that one mistake will result in a benign failure such as the machine's OS crashing.

[DevilDog016]

@reddog22000 How can you know? When you're programming a computer to be as intelligent and capable as a human brain, how can you know one wrong line of code won't do more than just crash the OS? What if, let's say, the programmers of the Terraformers forgot to set a data storage capacity limit? Or maybe, one wrong line of code in the IFF Recognition modules?

Then you either have a swarm of machines that know too much for our own good, and are emotionless, indiscriminate extermination machines.

[reddog22000]

@DevilDog016 You won't know that it'll be a safe failure, but then I didn't said you would.

However, you said that one mistake "will" result in this evil machine doomsday scenario. Which is not necessarily the case, not even the likely case. On top of the mere chance of very specific failures/bugs, you have multiple layers of redundant hardware and software safeguards both in development and the product itself.

Possibility? Yes.

Necessary result of any and all programming errors? No.

[DevilDog016]

@reddog22000 True, I did exaggerate there... Taking into account the immense levels of security that would accompany such a project, any truly dangerous failures or deviations will be eliminated instantly.

But you know the saying - "the one who expects the worst is, in the end, the best prepared". All possibilities have to be taken into account, especially when you're dealing with the creation of an entity that can be hostile - and on top, can replicate itself at a potentially exponential rate.

[reddog22000]

@DevilDog016 Definitely. That's dangerous stuff to be tinkering with for sure. I'd be nervous about flipping the switch even after quadruple checking that every conceivable precaution been taken.

[AnonyEnemy]

almost like a stargate

[zerotem]

this probably actually will happen in the future.

[UltimateKane99]

And it will, sadly, probably become an event that will make World War II look like an ant compared to Jupiter... T_T

[DarkTemplar40k]

At least the will remember the Humans for ever, as those wo made the virus that is spreading trough the whole galaxy and even further. :D

[MrNintoku]

@UltimateKane99

2012 Might not be the end of the planet but more likely the end of human life as we know it now on the planet. Chances are some idiot in America (not saying all american are idiots) will make a bomb and cause nuclear winter for all of us. that or fire a bomb at the moon and instead of it raining men it will rain balls of fire.

[240Gromit]

@UltimateKane99 Imagining that difference in scale hurts my head.

[Selvec]

Um, no. There's a lot to the story the intro does not give a way, a lot of variables that will never come to pass due to certain choices made. Particulary the "other species" earth is attacking. The previous games give insight into a lot.

[Stewker]

Nice Upload, been waiting to see a HQ English version of this intro. Thanks.
